Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 1545 - 1380: Punishment

A powerful Ancient Road Tester was thus killed. He was a Heavenly King, even if only an initial Heavenly King, yet he was a strong figure among the Ancient Road Testers, but was killed so easily.

In an instant, everyone roughly understood part of Ye Chen’s true combat strength, perhaps also one of the strongest heroes.

"Courting death!"

Pang Shan was furious. Today, he was first provoked by Ye Chen, and now a follower was killed in front of the whole city, greatly damaging his reputation. If he didn’t act, everyone would consider him incompetent, unable to protect his followers, and no one would follow him in the future.

For someone like him, who aims to dominate the Ultimate Ancient Road as one of the strongest heroes, it is undoubtedly a significant blow.

In his hand appeared a ferocious wolf fang club, covered with fearsome wolf fangs. It was an extraordinary Heavenly King Dao Soldier, and he swung it violently at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen snorted coldly, raised his hand to collide with the wolf fang club, and brilliant divine light erupted, tearing through the Changkong, shaking the whole city.

Yet Ye Chen’s figure remained immovable as a mountain, while the fierce dragon under Pang Shan retreated two steps, unable to withstand the mighty force, shocking many. Could even Pang Shan not match this mysterious man?

In the Floating Divine Temples in the distant sky, other strongest heroes of the Second Pass appeared, their eyes flickering as they watched this scene, some surprised and confused.

Pang Shan snorted coldly, his physique tall and robust, like a giant, equally a terrifying race, naturally possessing immense strength, and a peak figure in the Heavenly King Sixth Layer Heaven. How could he show fear now, continuously swinging the wolf fang club accompanied by terrifying destructive waves, shrouding Ye Chen.

Ye Chen remained immovable as a mountain, wielding his fists to collide, detonating boundless destructive might.

His Chaos Sacred Body Power was unparalleled, invincible at the same level, but the opponent also excelled in physical strength among strong clans, positioned in the Heavenly King Sixth Layer Heaven, and in the brief clash, Ye Chen surprisingly did not gain the upper hand.

However, Ye Chen’s expression did not change, advancing with great strides, his attack power fully elevated, growing a terrifying notch stronger, dueling with Pang Shan, sweeping through the Ancient City.

Clang—

In between, Ye Chen blocked the wolf fang club with one hand, while the other hand wielded the Immortal Sacred Fist, terrifying and majestic, descending with force, weighing billions, collapsing the Cangqiong, causing Pang Shan’s body to sink, and the dragon under him wailed, its legs breaking, crashing straight onto the ground, shaking the entire Ancient City.

Gudu—

Many Ancient Road Testers in the city were stunned, no one expected Ye Chen to be so formidable.

Even the Blood Desolate Eight Riders and Blood Robe Building Owner, the strongest heroes, were slightly surprised.

"Ah—"

Pang Shan roared, never expecting to be so aggrieved, rushing from the ground towards the sky, wielding the wolf fang club to strike at Ye Chen.

Just then, a terrifying spear light slashed through the sky, and the Great Commander of the Second Pass appeared.

He looked exceptionally cold, leading a column of soldiers over, looking at Ye Chen and Pang Shan equally with cold anger: "You sure have courage. I warned you today, yet you start a fight again, even damaging the city’s buildings. How should I punish you two?"

"Reporting to the Great Commander, it’s all because of this man attacking first," Pang Shan took the lead, "If you don’t believe me, you can ask others in the city."

The Great Commander of the Second Pass looked coldly at Ye Chen, who replied, "I didn’t wish to strike, but some people took advantage of my meditation to ambush me. If people don’t offend me, I won’t offend them, so I had to attack as a warning."

The words were plain, yet the warning was death, chilling many people’s hearts.

"What evidence do you have to prove it was Jin San who attacked?" Pang Shan said coldly, "You had no proof and just rushed over to kill Jin San. You sure have the audacity, disregarding the rules of the Trial Ancient Pass to attack."

Ye Chen chuckled coldly: "I was ambushed, and many saw it happen. Besides, I severely injured that person. Moreover, Jin San looks pale, obviously heavily injured. If not him, then who else?"

"You’re slandering Jin San!" Pang Shan shouted.

Ye Chen chuckled coldly, no longer speaking, but his Qi mechanism became terrifying in an instant. Though only in the Heavenly King Triple Heaven, it quietly alarmed many Ancient Road Testers.

The Great Commander of the Second Pass snorted: "Today’s grievances aside, daring to touch the rules of the Ancient Pass will not be forgiven. From today on, both of you will be detained in the city prison, unable to leave until the trial begins."

Ultimately, he meted out such punishment to Pang Shan and Ye Chen since they were considered the strongest heroes in everyone’s eyes, seed-level figures, thus receiving this punishment. Otherwise, other Ancient Road Testers would mostly be expelled from the Second Pass.

Neither Ye Chen nor Pang Shan opposed this; it was already a favorable result, and being simply detained for a few days was merely meditation, better than being expelled from the Second Pass.

Thus, everything came to an end.

With the passage of time, several batches of Ancient Road Testers appeared in the Second Pass Ancient City successively, young elites coming from the First Pass or various places among the stars, gathering more Ancient Road Testers here.

Among them, there were also quite a few fierce individuals, all very strong.

The Second Pass became more lively, yet with the presence of many soldiers guarding, despite numerous conflicts these days, under the deterrence of the Commander leading soldiers, no real battles broke out several times.

For indeed, there was a real battle; two individuals ignored the rules of the Ancient City, directly clashing in battle, instantly drawing attention from all sides, and despite the Commander’s attempts to stop them, they continued fighting.

Ultimately, the Ancient City Commander directly intervened in the battle, applying absolute pressure, lifting the War Spear to puncture the two strong fighters, suspended in mid-air, allowing their blood to stain the Ancient City. Though not killed, they were severely wounded and expelled from the Second Pass, causing great uproar.

It was precisely due to this that later on, no one dared to truly start a battle.

After all, the Commander was indeed very powerful, and who dared to challenge them, knowing that above them was an Ancient Great Power level Protector, just like the Moon Worship Tower Master in the First Pass, who dared defy their authority?

However, the Second Pass remained tense as the strongest few seed-level figures faced each other, though no real conflicts had started, they were the strongest group, causing worry.

Though in the city prison, it was merely another place for cultivation, rather devoid of disturbances, Ye Chen peacefully cultivated throughout.

"Woo—"

This continued for a full half-month, allowing many Ancient Road Testers arriving from the First Pass Ancient City to fully recuperate. Then, accompanied by a loud horn sound, brilliance flashed in the Heavenly Dome, signaling the start of the Second Pass trial.
